Life Is So Beautiful

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all doing amazing. I’ve missed talking one on one with you. I’ve missed these posts where I can just tell you how I’ve been.

Lately, I’ve been in not a very happy place. I overall am I happy person but I do get into these periods of feeling lost and impatient with life. I want to do so much all at once, when these things take time. I forget that I’m only 18 and I don’t need to have my life figured out. For so long I’ve been focusing on why I’m not where I want to be, or why I no longer have the same friends I used to have. Life simply moves on and it eliminates people that no longer need to be in your life. I know lots of you feel this way as well. I just have so much I want to do with my life and so many places I want to go to. I feel like so many of us get in our head way too much and we don’t actually live. I know I get so wrapped up in what I want in life that I’m not present. I don’t wake up in the morning and just breathe. I get up and I have to get ready for work or school. When was the last time you woke up in the morning and just went outside without a plan? When was the last time you literally stopped and smelled the roses? This year has been the most challenging but I know, as cheesy as it sounds, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I need to remember that life is more than just about petty problems and people that go in and out of your life. Life is so beautiful. There are so many amazing things about life, simple things.

Life is beautiful because of when your dog gets excited to see you after a long day, when you give your mom a hug that lasts too long and makes you both laugh at how hard you’re squeezing her, when you hear your dad sing in the car, when you talk to your best friend about the good and the bad of your day, when you laugh at stupid instagram posts with your sister, when you sing a little too loud with your friends in the car, when you fall in love with a new city you visit, when you know you shouldn’t be eating cookies and cream ice cream this late but you do anyway, when you see the sun rise and set, and so many other things that I could write a book about. Life is so beautiful, only if you look for the beauty.

I hope if you feel like if you are in a dark place, that light will eventually take over. I hope that you work hard to get yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy. I want you to think of all the beautiful things life has to offer because I assure you there are so many that you are ignoring. I love you and thank you for the support you’ve shown me with this passion project. Feel free to always message me if you need someone to talk to. Remember to live life beautifully!

Love,

Perla
